Ascents as sport by Aidan Sarginson

A fun way to end the trip. Second half felt harder due to the slopers, which make finding hooks a challenged. Mixed climbed it

Got surprisingly far accounted to all the on lookers. Super cryptic climb that would require some goes just to figure out the body positions

Worked the top move to understand the tension required. Just need to be sure of the lower crux and it's ready for send goes.

Warm up/hanging draws on Batman

Felt like a whanganui bay climb so points for that. Fun times. 22/23

Sudo grovelling in the corner down low to thuggy moves to the mantle. I'll take a climb 28 climbers struggle on. Waipapa 23 so could be 24 elsewhere

Grovelled up and worked out the beta. Also ripped a flake off the main wall. Still climbs the same

Warm up/to film Braden

One go to test how I felt/remember beta. Need to come back to this when I'm not jetlagged.

Warm up

Got all moves this session. Middle is dialed with the two hard moves being hard (duh) A contender for my first 27

Glad to have ticked this. Thanks Blair for the recommendation

Thin crimp line to a technical top. Who knew Yosemite had great sport lines

Mostly went up here to retrived a bail carabiner, but it looked cool so I tried it. Amazing route, just didn't have time to work it

Almost felt as hard as Rise of the Slothes, so take that how you will.. classic granite slab

Thugguy underclings to a finger crack around a roof

Slightly stiff warm-up. I didn't expect it to be as technical as it was

Longggggg

Dialled all the moves quickly but didn't quite have the juice to pull the second to last hard move. Crux holds felt like granite countertops

Last go of the day, more so just to check this out. Heaps of variety with the movement and so long

Warm up

I dislike slopers. #2ndgo

Repeat

Very similar movement to Dia, but just more sustained and smaller holds. #2ndgo

Couldn't figure out the roof. Made for a tough warm up

Had two goes. Finger was feeling slightly achy. Will go next time.

Cleaning the draws. Wasn't as tired as I thought I would be

First go putting on draws for everyone to try. Second go was meant to be a beta burn but ended up clipping the chains (after some noises came out). Too boulder bro for my liking haha #2ndgo

Night climb. Was seeping from the days before rain

Another rope solo. Reworked the two cruxes, now only one move is giving me trouble. Doesn't mean it's easy though

Uber greasy. The cost of a road side crag

Super fun sport climb with nice edges

Repeat to clean the draws

Very happy with the onsight. Had to turn it on at the roof

Funky crack climbing

Actually enjoyed the roof on this one

Rope soloed this route. So much respect to Brad for soloing this. Managed to get it clean on my third go, although I'll need to work on it more before I can go for the lead.

Boils down to two hard moves on razor crimps. Couldn't quite figure it out before we had to leave. Need to come back for this

Committing boulder start to enjoyable finish with a great view

What a cool line. Almost managed a full top rope link but messed up the top section. Is 12b/c in guides and MP

Climbed with ice on half the climb, had for a fun warm up

Good first day out climbing

Fell going to the clipping hold for the last bolt

Three attempts, all falling around the last bolt. Reworked the part from 2nd to last to last bolt. A climb for when I get back.
